Located on the stunning cliffs of Blue Anchor, Anchor's Drop offers a truly unique opportunity to stay right by the sea. Once home to the Blue Anchor Hotel, the property faced the threat of coastal erosion, with famous cliff falls and landslips putting it in danger of being lost to the sea. But it has now been saved, ensuring that Anchor's Drop will be here for many years to come.
Anchor's Drop provides a range of self-catering accommodations, including holiday homes, a 4-bedroom apartment (sleeps 8), and exclusive group stay options. All set against the dramatic backdrop of the Somerset coastline, this is an ideal spot for a memorable seaside escape.
The original part of Anchor's Drop dates back to the 1600s and has been lovingly added to over the centuries, all while retaining its historic charm. Overlooking the picturesque Blue Anchor Bay, with the stunning Exmoor and North Hill as a backdrop, the property offers a perfect blend of heritage and natural beauty.
Ideally located between Minehead and Watchet, Anchor's Drop is a great base for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying all that the Somerset coast has to offer. Whether you're drawn to its rich history or the breathtaking views, Anchor's Drop promises a unique and unforgettable stay.
